Esme

Beautiful Esme is looking for love again – and we really hope she won’t have to wait too long this time. Esme originally came to WAW as a youngster and waited patiently for her forever home before being adopted in 2022. Sadly, due to a relationship breakdown and a change in her family’s circumstances, Esme now needs to find a new home. We want to make one thing absolutely clear: Esme has done nothing wrong. This lovely girl hasn’t caused her return to rescue, and her family have had to make a very difficult decision. Now four years old, Esme is a gorgeous girl who deserves the chance to find stability, security and someone to love her for the rest of her life. Esme is housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go outside. She travels well in the car and can comfortably be left at home for up to around four hours. She’s generally a confident girl, although sudden noises can sometimes spook her. With people she doesn’t know, she can be a little unsure about having her head touched and will simply move away if she’s uncomfortable. Giving her the time and space to get to know you is important. The vets are a particularly scary place for Esme and she becomes very frightened during visits. She has never bitten or shown aggression, but her new family will need to understand her anxiety and work with their vet to make appointments as stress-free as possible. Esme is a big, strong girl who can pull on the lead, so she needs someone who is physically confident handling her and willing to continue working on her lead walking. She has never lived with another dog. She’s generally fine when she sees dogs out and about, although if another dog barks at her, she’s likely to answer back! We’d like Esme to be the only dog in her new home, where she can have all the attention to herself. She has never lived with cats or other pets, so we’re also looking for a home without other animals. Esme hasn’t lived with or spent significant time around children, so an adult home would be the best fit for her. Please don’t let Esme wait too long! It took Esme a little while to find her family the first time around, and it’s heartbreaking to see her needing our help again through absolutely no fault of her own. She’s still a young dog with so much life ahead of her. What she needs now is someone who can look beyond her size and strength and see the lovely girl underneath – someone who can offer her consistency, patience, exercise and, most importantly, a home she can finally call hers for good.
